accomplishments are second to none when compared to recent first wives. >> all of the sudden, he starts talking about these various hollywood people, and the president of the united states, and this is his way of conveying, i'm an important person now, because i have done these outrageous thing, it is elevated me into a position of notoriety. >> reporter: mohandi says that narcissism prompted him to send a package to anderson cooper at cnn.
